This page honors my father, John Kaczmar.
Kaczmar translates to innkeeper, or a place to serve beer. Other translations are:
Kac = Polish for hangoverKacha = swaying
Kachalo = one who swings
Kaczka (Polish ) = duck
Kachka (Ukrainian) = duck (or maybe one who kept fowl)
Some early history: The surname Kaczmar has been found in the region of Polesie, (the largest province now Poland). It is inhabited by Ruthenians, called Polesians, of Ukrainian descent. During the 16th and 17th centuries the name Kaczmar was found in Polesie, were they emerged as a notable family earily in the Middle Ages. During these turbulent times, there were many changing religious and political allegiances. Members of the family name were raised to the nobility as Counts of Poland in 1650. 
The Coat of Arms is said to be an upright shaft of wheat with a honey bee on top. Colors are yellow on a blue background (Ukrainian colors).
My John was born in Malkowice / Malkowychi (Ukrainian pronounciation). Poland had just recently taken over this part of Galicia (map) from Austria. He was not Polish, but of Ukrainian nationality. His father was Ivan (1878-1926) born in ? Radoszyce / Rodatyczi, Austria; died in Malkowice when John was only 5 years old.
In 1940, John and his brother went to work in Germany. They spent seven years there under very harsh living conditions as slave labor. However, he was fed, respected by his employer and escaped the bombs.
In this photo, John is working on the Freidrich's
farm. During this period, he met Ewdokia Wachalivska, declared his love and
promised to kill himself if they didn't get married. After the war, they were
married by a priest who was also a captive in Hitler's work camp in Bavaria.
John's brother, Emilion (Milko) Kaczmar, was also with John and Evdokia in the work camp in Germany. When World War II ended, the work camps were freed by the US liberating forces and were placed under the care of the United Nations (UNNRA). UN officials ordered trains to pick up these refugees to repatriate them to their native countries. Everyone in their compound was rushing toward these unmarked 'transports'. Severely overcrowded; the former slave workers were anxious and excited to get resettled in the new location wherever that may be. Milko climbed on the roof of the train, the only place left to sit, but John says, "I have a wife and child ...they can't climb on the roof...I'll catch up with you." Sadly, they never saw each other after that. The next train went in the opposite direction carried John and his family to another DP camp in Bavaria Germany. Milko's train took him east, behind the Iron Curtain, into the Communist Russian-controlled Ukraine (orders from Stalin in the Yalta Agreement). When he disembarked, he went to the tree where he and John had buried a bottle of whisky before leaving the Ukraine. He dug it up and toasted John, wishing him good luck until they meet again. "Wherever you go, may God go with you." There was no home to go back to since their homeland was given to Poland and the residents were forceably evacuated either to Northern Poland (poorest of lands taken from bombed out Prussia) or to Communist UkSSR. Stalin was eager to put them to his own brand of slave labor. My parents prayed and waited for four years until America opened its doors. I was born while they waited in DP Camp Aschaffenburg.
United Ukrainian American Relief Committee, NY, sponsored many Ukrainians to come to the USA. John and his wife were shuttled into four DP camps while waiting for sponsorship to America. Their passage was paid by donations by other American Ukrainians. John Kaczmar and his family emigrated from Bremen.
Finally late in 1949, Ewdokia, John and their two children boarded SS General Le Roy Eltige ship in Bremen and were 9 days at sea. The DPs were cabined in the center of the ship. Eva and the children shared a cabin with two other women. John worked for passage in the kitchen and was housed with the men. Ewdokia didn't work because she was very sea sick.
General Le Roy Eltinge made only five trips taking refugees to America and John and his family were fortunate to be on the last trip. It then went back to transporting soldiers to & from war destinations.
When the Kaczmars arrived in America, they were shuttled around Pennsylvania, with people trying to find work for John. They were housed in the various church halls and parishioners brought them food.

My grandmother's maiden name was Kaczmar. My grandmother's first name was Francisia, her father was Jan, siblings (Steve, Pauline, Lilly, Justin and Jennie). I think most of these names were anglicized. My GGF was Mikhal and their children were Theo, Steve, Marie and Jan. Only have a record of Theo's (child who was Pawlo). Names listed in bold print all migrated to the US through Ellis Island. My grandparents and their family came from the town of Mikulince before W W l.

6/17/06 Pavlokoma memorial
On May 13 in Poland near Peremysl and Galacia, close to where we were born, called Pavlokoma (Rzesow region) they opened a big cemetary, where in 1945 Poland, 365 Ukrainian people were murdered. For this, the Ukrainians killed 9 Polish people in this village. They installed a memorial for the 61st anniversary of the murdered Ukrainians. During the year of the murder, I was returning home from Germany, they were murdering in many villages like this. Near my wife's village, there were 20 Ukrainian boys, priest and wife, lover and son-in law; and a 3-year old child in mother's arms was bayonetted to death by the Polish. D. Domarad.

6/26/10 Dear
Olga,
i have read your family history on your website and
i have enjoyed it. it also gave me some ideas and possibilities about my
surname. i have been looking for some information about the origins of my surname
spelt kachmar, but i can't really say that i have been able to find anything
solid about where it originates from. i was born in Lebanon, the south of Lebanon.
The Kachmars in Lebanon are relatively small and they are only concentrated in the south of the county mainly around the small towns and villages surrounding the relatively large town of Odeissi. it would seem to me that they go back , at least few hundred years, and they may have come to Lebanon and settles in that area, but where exactly they came from, no one really knows. it would be nice to find out a bit more that of course, maybe on day.
anyway i just wanted to share that with you , thought it might interest you.
i live in england now and have been for nearly 30 years,
i guess i am one of those Kachmars who travelled and settled else were..
it would be nice to hear from you.
for now, best wishes

Helping out a young fellow Ukrainian who is looking for his family member. Does anyone know of or remember a Mikolay Kaczmar? From Deshychi/Дешичі,Lviv Oblast He came to Australia in 1949 on the ship General Stewart and possibly stayed at Bagabilla camp and then lived in Melbourne. He had friends that came to Melbourne at the same time but lost touch with them. The family has been trying many different avenues but not getting far. Ironically they have found friends and siblings of the friends and are bemused that they cannot find anything about Mikolay. Chances are he was able to find work in other places Snowey Mtns, Port Kembla, Newcastle North Queensland sugar fields and or cities.Contact Валерій Савка on FaceBook should you or a member of your family remember Mikolay Kaczmar. ok. Below is a photo of Mykolay at age 37 when he came to Australia. He may have changed his name as some did when taking citizenship. Added spelling may be 'Kachmar'
